Race Tip

Multiple G2 winner FREE WIND (4) previously found success here. Showed plenty of ability at York in May when 6L runner-up attempting the 1m2f G2 Middleton Stakes. Ran fourth in this event last year. Leading player. CAIUS CHORISTER (1) finished sixth of nine attempting the 2m4f G1 Ascot Gold Cup at the Royal meeting during June. Down in grade and won a French G3 tackling the trip last year. Ticks plenty of boxes. French runner MELO MELO (5) did well at Saint-Cloud (France) finishing a smart 3.5L third in the May 1m2f G2 Prix Corrida. Makes for appeal. RIVER OF STARS (7) was a good second in this race last year (heavy ground). Last seen winning the 1m4f Listed Pontefract Castle Stakes. Interesting.
